working so we can now turn it on again.
Do we have a nice tutorialish document somewhere on what people
writing new command line tools or libraries should do in order to
address localization requirements, or at least, make it easier for
other people to do so? I'm afraid I, at least, live in a world
without catalogues, but a quick and practical guide to what The Right
Thing Is for FreeBSD would make it much easier for me to do something
a bit more mature.
I don't know about any documentation, but I can add some snippets to
developers-handbook if I can find some time. I added catalog support to
BSD grep (my SoC 2008 project), so I found out how to deal with
catalogs. For the meantime, BSD grep can be used as a quick reference,
the code snippets in grep.c are quite clear.
Oh, and the best thing is that if you use err(), which reads errno to
exit with an error message, you have localized messages out of the box.
E.g., for BSD grep there are 10 more messages, but the rest is done via
err().
